2.) Gender Jobs
Men undertook heavy labor of preping land and clearing it for cultivation; men also usually were the rulers and people with power
Women brought up the family and children, and they did domestic chores
Men and Women both planted and harvested crops together
although mainly in a man dominated society, women enjoyed high honor, lots of opportunities, some were traders, occasionally they held power positions, and some were even in the military
3.) Slavery
slaves stood apart from the other social groups
eventually, slaves were traded with in Africa and were just like any other good
soon the slaves of course got tired of this and revolted; this revolt was called the Zang Revolt
this revolt was successful for a little whilebut then they were crushed after about 10 years
